This episode is all things groups! It is not uncommon to see questions about starting and running groups in mental health message boards. There has also been a great deal of conversation about running counseling groups via telehealth or managing them safely in person. PA lists the following benefits of group counseling: support, accountability, perspective, relief, and diversity. Now, more than ever, clinicians are looking for ways to provide these for clients, and here to help us learn more about starting and running a small group is Dr. Lyz DeBoer Kreider, PhD. Dr. Lyz covers group counseling basics, including the process of forming a group, running a group, and managing group dynamics. She also shares the steps she took when starting her very first group and her favorite groups to run. Finally, Dr. Lyz explains how group interactions provide insight into daily client struggles and how to balance group dynamics.
